Does that mean Rory, Phil, and Dustin were the major meltdown pairing?

Edfors has game; he was in the mix on the weekend at Bethpage a couple of years ago. He's not going to win, but he'll stick around for a while. The most important thing about the first round of a major is avoiding mistakes, and a quick check of the leaderboard says that most of this year's contenders are not playing themselves out of the tournament. Now Graeme and Oosty's balls are touching. Ha! Also, David Love is too old to be wearing electric fuschia slacks. Same with Bubba Watson and his Gomer Pyle xostume.

Yeah stinker of a front nine. Hitting it off the planet? Our coverage doesn't start for another 4 hours, would stay up and watch but I got a multivariable calculus and linear algebra exam :(

one thing i've noticed:

a handful of players who had the AP2's are back playing blades like Adam Scott and McIlroy.

It's weird to think if I was still in NZ, I would have to stay up late to watch or watch highlights the next day. North America has it's benefits.

That would be a fantastic story and he definitely has the game to do it. He will be in the top 3 of the world before he turns 21 the way he is heading.

It's not a disaster yet for Luke; the low scores are on the front nine, and everyone on the front page of the leaderboard started at 1. Another birdie or two can repair the damage.

I picked Kuchar, who is +1 at this point. Not bad, but since I picked him he'll really stink it up tomorrow. :-) [quote name="B of H" url="/forum/thread/47501/us-open-2011#post_614494"]

the firmness of the fairways and greens alone would make even your home course 5-10 shots more difficult, that's not considering the rough or shaved areas or added pressure of the event.

From what i've been told it was an effort to hold greens better as the ap2 flies higher, slightly straighter, and gets a little more spin.  The problem being that shots out of deep rough are tougher as the club is bigger with a wider sole and if you get steep on it and catch it slightly high in the face then you get a dead ball (problem with all GI irons for good players).

IMO These guys don't mis-hit the ball enough to need forgiveness, nobody does.  Some guys play GI/perimeter weighted irons because either then need a little help getting it in the air or in the case of westwood or couples etc... they have played them all their lives pretty much so it's just what they are used to.

YE is making a little bit of a run, now tied for the lead. And Kuchar is back to E. Broomstick at +1 with Stevie on the bag, Tiger's replacement at +4, and a lot of good players at +3.

Condescending post is condescending. I know how tough these courses are.

I was asking how he had qualified for the US Open. Pretty basic quation to ask when I see a player after playing 7 holes and yet to get a sniff at a par.

Found a nifty graphic at usopen.com: http://www.usopen.com/en_US/index.html#!/play_tracker/index [quote name="deasy55" url="/forum/thread/47501/us-open-2011#post_614548"]Condescending post is condescending.

He's got a triple, a double, a birdie, and a bunch of bogeys, but some pars sprinkled in as well.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
